White-crowned Sparrow by John James Audubon Art PrintToo much beige. Not enough deep green. This fixes that. Two small sparrows on a grape vine, with broad green leaves and dusty blue berries a Plate from Audubon's Birds of America. A room that's gone a bit flat in cream and oat suddenly has something to look at. The green pulls in any houseplants nearby, the dusty blue berries give the eye a cooler point to land on, and the small birds keep the whole thing feeling alive rather than decorative. Hangs

walnut and warm brass

where the vertical embrace echoes the eye-line of someone standing in the doorway

this cat portrait refuses to behave

It sits best on a chalky off-white wall

Second glance: the ski resort doing something smarter

and the birds give the eye somewhere to travel

with sage trees and a rust-roofed terrace anchoring the bottom half

Don't crowd it with other patterned prints — this one wants to be the loudest thing in the room

no busy gingham

Hang it and the room slows down — colours that felt flat suddenly have somewhere to land

can be framed to complement its modern style and nature theme

the ochre and deep red give it warmth
